History

106.9

At one time, the 106.9 frequency was home to WIOZ-FM, which moved to 102.5 FM in 1995. WKQB played 70s rock hits [ Michael Futch, "New Radio Station WKQB Singles Out the '70s", "The Fayetteville Observer", November 3, 1995.] and later classic rock before switching to urban contemporary and then CountryMichael Futch, "'B107' is now 'Power 107'", "The Fayetteville Observer", March 17, 2002] [ Michael Futch, "'Power 107' switches to country format", "The Fayetteville Observer", October 12, 2003] . John Boy and Billy made their debut on the station early in 1997 [Michael Futch, "Rock Station Adds Stern's Morning Show," "The Fayetteville Observer", March 9, 1997.] and moved to WRCQ in 2002. Cumulus Broadcasting bought the station from Muirfield Broadcasting in 2000 [Michael Futch, "For Cumulus, the Wait Continues," "The Fayetteville Observer", September 10, 2000.] . The switch to the current format came on February 17, 2006Michael Futch, "Oldies Return to Airwaves," "The Fayetteville Observer", February 17, 2006.] .

102.3

At one time, this station was a Country station in Lumberton, North Carolina with the call letters WJSK. Al Kahn, who bought WAGR in January 1957, signed WJSK on the air in 1964 [Michael Futch, "Lumberton Undergoes Radio Changes," "The Fayetteville Observer", January 11, 1998.] and took the station's letters from the names of his sons Jeff and Steve Kahn [Michael Futch, "Call Letters Have Their Swan Song,"The Fayetteville Observer", June 10, 2004.] .

After Messa Corp. bought the stations from Southeastern Broadcasting Corp. in July 1992, WJSK and WAGR ended their tradition of airing only Lumberton high school football and began carrying games involving other Robeson County games [Charles Broadwell, "High School Broadcasts to Have New Sound," "The Fayetteville Observer", August 27, 1992.]

In 1993, Arthur DeBerry and Associates of Durham bought WAGR and WJSK [Jay Woodard, "Radio Stations' Sales Under Way," "The Fayetteville Observer", August 25, 1993.] .
Cape Fear Broadcasting bought the station in 1998. Until 2006, this station, with the letters WFNC-FM, aired the same programming as talk radio station WFNC-AM [Josh Shaffer, "Cape Fear Plans to Buy WJSK," "The Fayetteville Observer", December 30, 1997.] .
